Who We Are The Pan American Development Foundation was established by the Organization of American States in 1962 as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit to implement socioeconomic development programs and disaster assistance in Latin America and the Caribbean. For half a century, PADF has proven to be a skilled implementer of innovative programs that address key challenges in the Americas. The Foundation has produced impressive results. For example, during fiscal year 2011 alone, it benefited more than 7.5 million people in 23 countries, reflecting the vision of its founders of demonstrating Inter-American solidarity with the least fortunate.
Visit padf.org/about-us
How We Work PADF was organized through an innovative partnership between the OAS and private enterprise with support from the Inter-American Development Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and corporate and private donors. PADF engages community-based groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), local governments, and the private sector in the process of designing and implementing appropriate solutions for integral and sustainable development. Programs are funded with resources from individuals, corporations, private donors such as the American Red Cross and the Clinton Bush Haiti

Create Economic Opportunities Visit padf.org/programs PADF believes that the key to development is self-sufficiency.

agricultural conditions and techniques, focuses on natural resources conservation, and expands community infrastructure. In all programs, PADF targets the most needy, whether they are impoverished, displaced by civil conflict, or disadvantaged because of economic, racial or ethnic prejudices. PADF works directly with local residents to create sustainable employment through a variety of innovative activities. In addition, PADF focuses on areas that support the necessary conditions for economic growth, such as basic rural infrastructure and the participation of local citizens. Through a USAID-funded program focused on assisting vulnerable populations, PADF supported 120 displaced Afro-Colombian women living in Barranquilla, in northern Colombia, by helping them create a cooperative called Coopradal. The project helped the cooperative build a small factory that produces typical Afro-Colombian sweets which

Developing Micro, Small, Medium, and Community Enterprises PADF knows that when businesses thrive they create jobs, giving people access to additional income and increased wealth. PADF, therefore, encourages the creation of micro and community enterprises and community solidarity groups as a way to focus on improving the capacity of specific communities, particularly those that are vulnerable such as displaced and disadvantaged people. By providing training, capacity building, and technical assistance, PADF has helped communities implement alternative development, creating new income streams that are contributing to their overall development.

Making Sweets, Building a Better Future Photos: padf.org/making-sweets
“We were caught in the middle. It was terrible. Some stayed. Some of us left,” says Rosely Robledo, 29, remembering seven years earlier when her hometown in the Chocó Department was caught amidst a tug of war between armed groups. Rosely left everything behind and became one of the 5.2 million Colombians displaced by the violence. With little education and no support system, she struggled to find work. As an Afro-Colombian woman, she faced the added challenge of discrimination. After moving north to Barranquilla, she learned about a work cooperative that was being created with the support of PADF, USAID, and a local non-profit group called Organización Social de Comunidades Negras Angela Davis. The cooperative would not only give Rosely and 120 other women the possibility to work, but also a financial stake in the company. Two years since its founding, the Coopradal cooperative has built a small factory that produces popular sweets which are later sold under the cooperative’s own Dulafros brand to local supermarkets or on the streets by coop members. Many members now agree that the project has improved working conditions and increased incomes. “They have realized that they are businesswomen and owners of the company,” says María Herrera Miranda, Coopradal’s legal representative. “They are also starting to think that this could eventually help the future of their own children.” Rosely agrees. “As a result of this work,” she says, “my children will be able to go to school. I also hope to study one day.”

This program helped support trafficking victims, rescue and provide shelter for trafficked children, and repatriate 3,000 Haitians who had been trafficked. PADF has also trained hundreds of government officials and non-governmental organizations charged with monitoring and preventing trafficking of persons, and has strengthened government and civil society groups on advocacy and policy reform. Building Social Capital, Resilient Communities, and Neighborhoods PADF knows that building strong communities means engaging people of diverse backgrounds in a community and empowering them to face a wide range of development challenges. This is why PADF develops programs that include capacity-building classes, training, and awareness-raising of key issues that are relevant to communities. These include violence, child and youth exploitation, human trafficking, human rights, discrimination, labor rights, disaster mitigation and preparedness, and many others. In Haiti, a community-driven development (CDD) program is promoting personal—and community—

Mobilizing Diaspora Remittances for Development Diaspora groups are an important source of income for millions of people throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Since 2002, PADF has worked with such groups to channel funding for transnational development projects in their communities of origin. Through this approach, U.S.-based immigrant groups direct community remittances to projects that generate jobs and raise family incomes back home. In turn, PADF provides training and capacity-building programs for the partner immigrant groups on prioritizing development needs, raising funds, and implementing and evaluating projects they support. In 2011, PADF secured funding from USAID to implement the Leveraging Application of Direct Investments (LEAD) program in Haiti, a $13 million cooperative agreement initiative which, among several activities, collaborates with the Haitian Diaspora community living in the U.S. to channel remittances to viable social enterprises and community projects back home, increasing their internal sustainability and external impact. One of the goals of this program is to help identify potential areas of philanthropy in order to improve the impact of remittances by investing a portion in community projects or businesses in order to create new jobs.
“It was hard to picture the area ever coming back to life,” says Louissaint Toussaint, a local teacher from Portau-Prince’s Delmas 32 neighborhood. “Everything we owned was destroyed”. With 45 percent of its buildings damaged by the earthquake and thousands of casualties, Delmas 32 was undoubtedly among the city’s most damaged neighborhoods. Having worked in that neighborhood since 2007, PADF stepped in to help.

governance and the community. It was a success that is still evident today.” With strong political will emanating from the Mayor’s office and the newfound dynamism of the civil society, Delmas 32 put itself on the map as an example in recovery and reconstruction initiatives. The neighborhood was the site chosen for the pilot phase of the Ministry of Public Works’ house repairs program, funded by the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance and implemented by PADF. Some 3,800 homes were repaired during the course of the year using new anti-seismic techniques. PADF is working on more house repairs, new residential developments, road improvements, a public market, and a community administrative center with over $20 million in funding pledged from the World Bank. And the progress is evident. “If you stood on a hill above, and looked down at the neighborhood today, you might say ‘Well Delmas 32 wasn’t damaged that bad’ but we were! You couldn’t even walk through the streets then,” explains Toussaint. “Today, merchants are selling, houses are being repaired, and children are going to school. There are still a lot of problems here, but when you consider where we’ve been, we are living again.” PADF 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Strengthening Communities and Civil Society Visit padf.org/programs
cross-section of the population, among them youth, women, and vulnerable groups. Projects leverage innovative techniques including arts, social media PADF believes that addressing the needs of communities through strengthening civil society and increasing citizen participation in municipalities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is a fundamental ingredient for a healthy democracy. Since 1962, PADF has successfully developed and strengthened hundreds of community-based groups, NGOs, and municipalities in the region, enhancing their capacity to serve their own communities. Enhancing Democratic Values and Civic Practices PADF promotes the teaching and learning about human rights and democratic values through formal and informal training and activities that engage a
tools, and other interactive opportunities to promote citizen discussion and collaboration. PADF also works to foster professional journalistic practices, promote balanced and objective media coverage of critical issues, develop innovative media outlets, and increase awareness of the importance of the role of a free media. In 2011, as part of our regional civil society strengthening program, PADF provided assistance to groups in Cuba, Ecuador, Venezuela, and other countries in accordance with our mandate of supporting the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Empowering Civil Society, Communities, and Social Entrepreneurs In the Latin America and Caribbean region, PADF is actively strengthening local non-governmental organizations and municipalities by working side by side on all of its projects, whether the focus is on preventing human trafficking, combating human rights abuses, or promoting media freedom.

develops leadership and improved local capacity to better address community problems. PADF also trains local leaders in critical areas such as planning, management, fundraising, and citizen participation, and provides technical assistance and other resources. This helps address community problems with greater efficiency, effectiveness and transparency, enabling grassroots democracy to truly be a government by the people. Promoting Human Rights, including Afro-Descendants, Indigenous and Other Vulnerable Groups PADF has been a strong supporter of human rights throughout the Western Hemisphere, implementing programs to combat human rights abuses, support victims of violence, and provide opportunities for increased equality to vulnerable groups, including Afro-descendants, indigenous people, and internally displaced persons. By partnering with local nongovernmental organizations, strengthening government entities, and raising public awareness, PADF has had a significant impact on women’s rights, violence reduction and monitoring, social rights, access to justice, rights of free association, and the rights of historically excluded minorities. Fostering Participation and a Culture of Lawfulness PADF knows that strengthening the social fabric is a key part of achieving a culture of lawfulness. By fostering the participation of families, government
teach communities that each member has a personal role in creating and overseeing the implementation of the laws, and preventing crime and corruption. This is why PADF believes in working
with children and youth, because schoolbased programs have a ripple effect, influencing not only students, but also teachers, parents, local government officials, neighborhood associations, and the community at large. Pioneering Innovative Models of Corporate-Civic Engagement To better tackle the challenges facing many communities across the Latin America and Caribbean region, PADF partners with businesses that are looking for innovative, sustainable ways to invest in local development. By creating new investment models, PADF and its partners can work together to stimulate job creation, protect the environment, improve social services, and prepare for and respond to natural disasters quickly. PADF also leverages significant private contributions to match public funds. In Colombia, for example, PADF has received significant counterpart contributions from nonpublic sources, including multinational and national firms such as Coltabaco, Chevron, Citi, Ecopetrol and others to create jobs and provide social services to families displaced by violence.

“Migrants are very susceptible to falling victims to this type of crime,” says Luz María Pérez Cabrera, referring to Mexico’s growing human trafficking problem. With the backing of a local non-profit organization called Un Mundo Una Nación AC, she runs a shelter for migrants in Pizaco, Tlaxcala state, called La Sagrada Familia, the Sacred Family. Located near a set of railroad tracks over which trains carry freight and humans, the shelter is an oasis for the migrants—more than 80 percent of them men— who stop by. “My journey has been very sad,” says a young

woman from Honduras who is three months pregnant. “I’ve been hungry, cold, I’ve also been thirsty. Not too many people will give a glass of water to someone like me.” Luz María takes them in—tired, hungry, thirsty, mistreated and even injured—and listens to their stories of abuse, their fears and dreams. She and her team also discuss the challenges ahead and the dangers, particularly at the hands of criminal groups who prey on migrants. “Migrants don’t have a safety net here, so they fall victim to extortion,” says Luz María. “But they don’t denounce these things, because they often have to hide so they don’t attract the attention of local authorities who can deport them.” Even migrants have rights, she says. This is why she talks to them to ensure that they learn about human rights, about who in Mexico has the authority to stop them, and what kinds of people and organizations they can rely on for help. With support from PADF, the shelter also plans to increase its reach in the community in order to better assist migrants. “We thank PADF for helping us make this issue more visible and help prevent people from joining groups that could affect the rights of migrants,” says Luz María.

Strengthening Community Responses to Natural Disasters PADF believes in the full participation of local communities and affected populations in relief programs, such as communitybased early flood alert systems and other local preparedness planning and exercises. This approach complements the impact of a response, as it helps countries build publicprivate partnerships that enhance and speed responses and reconstruction and ensure greater coordination of assistance at the community level. Supporting the Inter-American Committee for Natural Disaster Reduction Each year PADF actively supports the Inter-American Committee on Natural Disaster Reduction (IACNDR), a forum established by the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly. IACNDR comprises many leading hemispheric organizations. Its primary purpose is to analyze issues related to natural and other disasters, including the prevention and mitigation of their effect, in coordination with the governments of OAS member states; competent national, regional, and international organizations; and non-governmental organizations. IACNDR also seeks to strengthen hemispheric actions to achieve maximum international cooperation in support of national and/or regional efforts for timely prevention, preparedness, early warning, response, vulnerability reduction, emergency care, mitigation, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Aiding victims of humanitarian crises For decades, PADF has responded to most of the hemisphere’s major natural disasters and humanitarian crises. In its role as the OAS development and relief arm, PADF is also called upon at times to respond to other humanitarian crises such as assisting displaced persons in Colombia, demobilized ex-combatants in Central America, refugees fleeing civil unrest, victims of human trafficking and abuse, disabled citizens and excluded minorities such as Afro-descendent and indigenous communities, and others. 24

Mobilizing Community Brigades in Brazil Photos: padf.org/brigades When a deadly combination of floods, mudslides, and landslides struck several towns in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state in January 2011, Leonardo de Jesus da Silva, a 30-year-old civil servant, didn’t know that the tragedy that killed more than 900 people and became one of Brazil’s worst weather-related tragedies would also impact him personally, but in a different way. The disaster prompted PADF to respond through partner Viva Rio, a widely respected local NGO, thanks to donations from the Caterpillar Foundation, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., and individual donors. These resources helped remove mud and debris, provide basic health assistance to families, treat and monitor drinking water, conduct reforestation efforts, and organize community brigades. Having lived in Teresópolis, one of the worst affected communities, Leonardo knew well the extent of the devastation. So when the project organized two all-local community brigades, he offered his help and became the leader of a 20-person team. Soon, he was going house-to-house teaching residents about reducing health risks and helping them understand emergency procedures in case of new flooding. He also worked with his team to plant trees to help reduce future erosion. “We worked together for the common good, to resolve the problems that nature brought upon us, to take what we experienced, which was awful, and make the best out of it, taking pride in both assisting and being assisted,” said Leonardo. As part of the project, Leonardo helped introduce the use of smartphones and Google technology to map homes and pinpoint high flood risk areas. This information could save lives, he says, if there was ever another disaster in this mostly rural and mountainous region. “If a new emergency or natural disaster were to occur, they are better prepared to resolve a situation. They are now trained to act,” he says. PADF 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
